According to many, University of British Columbia ignores "rape culture" rampant on campus

Deplorable!  With the influx of students from cultures that think women should dress a certain way and if they don't they are asking to be raped,  Canada has opened her doors wide to the kind of misogyny this country has never ever seen.  With the immigration numbers the way they are, and with plans to increase those numbers, one can expect, sadly, to see such crimes against women to increase many fold. 

Moreover, with the "rape chants" brought to light lately,  where even female students join in without giving a thought to what they are chanting about, will be seen by those who view these things in a completely different light than Westerns are used to, as an "invitation to rape."

 .....March draws attention to rape culture on UBC campus. 
Two students organizing a Take Back the Night rally and march on the University of British Columbia's Vancouver campus next week say the recent string of sexual assaults, combined with the Commerce Undergraduate Society's controversial rape chant, point to a rape culture on campus that the administration is ignoring.
But the university says its opened several channels of dialogue with the campus community and encourage students, staff, and faculty to come to them with concerns about campus culture and safety.
A grassroots global movement, Take Back The Night events are anti-violence against women marches that originated in the United States in the 1970s. Although typically women-only events, the UBC organizers Emily Monaghan and Rain invite people who identify as men to attend the rally and march on Wednesday, Oct. 30.
"We really want to focus on male allyship because men are a part of this problem, and by confronting and deconstructing sexism within themselves, and by becoming part of the movement and not impeding upon women's voices and spaces, we want to teach man what good allyship is (and) how they can contribute," Monaghan, a first year environmental science and sustainability student, told The Tyee.....

‘You’re blaming the victim’:  Contentious discussions of campus rape pit sexes against each other.  
In the days since the latest in a string of reported sexual assaults at the University of British Columbia, posters have cropped up across campus: “Don’t be a creep! Learn how to manage your sex drive.”

“Recognize that many women are bombarded with sexual interest,” reads another. “Don’t be a rapist! Someone walking alone is NOT an invitation for you to rape or assault.”
It’s a fraught time on campus as the RCMP pursue a suspect linked to all three attacks, the third and latest on Saturday, when a 17-year-old girl reported being accosted and dragged into a nearby wooded area.

But critics say the signs — their source is unclear — also make a sweeping assumption: that male students, or any man on campus, may be a rapist-in-waiting. And they characterize a tense cultural conversation about rape and sexual assault that has rolled to a boil as of late.

Last week, Slate columnist Emily Yoffe stoked uproar when she said that female university and college students ought not to get black-out drunk if they wanted to avoid being sexually attacked since rapists tend to prey on women in vulnerable states. She was called a “rape apologist,” and accused of victim-blaming at a time when multiple horrible tales of rape and sexual assault have captured headlines and stirred emotions.....
